Wait wait wait, people said Jewish people should go back to Poland?

Wasn’t there a certain camp that basically the only one that you think of when talking about the Holocaust due to the arm numbering?

Oh right

AUSCHWITZ, YOU WANT JEWISH PEOPLE GO BACK TO THE CENTERPIECE OF THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST?!

In 6th grade, I read The Devil's Arithmetic, and before the girl went back to the past. One of Jewish elders said it was miracle one of family members was born in America

Yes despite our rampant antisemitism (though now it cause by pro Palestine people now) several Jewish people would prefer living in America vs in the old world

AAAAAH, A FUCKING 2012 UBISOFT GAME SHOULD’NT GIVE ME A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF COLONIAL AND 20 CENTURY IMMIGRATION TO THE NEW WORLD THAN COLLEGES

Ugh, but anyways, the game pointed out a lot of persecuted people in the old world were FLEEING to the Americas for a better life and the hell it was

Theory of mine, I think the creation of modern Israel as part of the aftermath of the Holocaust is left out in our education system not to piss off arab nations who fund it.

(Probably Arabs love leaving out that a lot of Nazis went to their countries to escape persecution as well)

For about nine years this fall, I was called a Nazi apologist for preferring an evil space wizard.

Yet as I type, I for some reason understand the plight of descendants of Holocaust survivors more despite working at a Amazon warehouse and have a HS diploma only

What the fuck is going on?

Wait wait wait, people said Jewish people should go back to Poland? AUSCHWITZ, YOU WANT JEWISH PEOPLE GO BACK TO THE CENTERPIECE OF THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST?!

Before WWII there were 3.3 million Jews living in Poland, after the dust settled there was 380,000. Nearly 90% of the Jews in Poland died as a result of WWII, and some of them weren't welcome back home after they'd been freed from the camps, all kinds of reasons for that but it's not like Poland was terribly welcoming.

Communism thing to deal with too, behind the iron curtain wasn't super safe for Jewish folks either. Double bad given the Antisemitism baked directly into communism.

In 6th grade, I read The Devil's Arithmetic, and before the girl went back to the past. One of Jewish elders said it was miracle one of family members was born in America Yes despite our rampant antisemitism (though now it cause by pro Palestine people now) several Jewish people would prefer living in America vs in the old world

We've done better here in the US than lots of places on that, or I'd thought we had till all this started up, did get a preview of what was in store a few years back after Israel kicked some squatters out of a home that had been purchased while the place was a province of the Ottoman Empire.

AAAAAH, A FUCKING 2012 UBISOFT GAME SHOULD’NT GIVE ME A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF COLONIAL AND 20 CENTURY IMMIGRATION TO THE NEW WORLD THAN COLLEGES

They have to break down complicated things into simple easy to understand bits of knowledge, it's handy and a good jumping off point since it's not overly complicated usually.

Ugh, but anyways, the game pointed out a lot of persecuted people in the old world were FLEEING to the Americas for a better life and the hell it was

That was one of the reasons several of the colonies and settlements happened starting at the begining

Theory of mine, I think the creation of modern Israel as part of the aftermath of the Holocaust is left out in our education system not to piss off arab nations who fund it.

there wasn't a lot about it when I was in school and the anti Israel sentiment hadn't gotten anywhere near where it is now then, but there might be something to that.

Also only so much time to teach, so that gets in the way too.

For about nine years this fall, I was called a Nazi apologist for preferring an evil space wizard. Yet as I type, I for some reason understand the plight of descendants of Holocaust survivors more despite working at a Amazon warehouse and have a HS diploma only

We did the whole thing with Louis Armstrong and the family that kinda took him in and taught him a bunch of different Jewish Lithuanian songs, made enough of a impact on him that he wore a Star of David on a necklace his whole life.

'Met these nice white people and it confused me that they were treated the same way black people were by their fellow white people'

You'd think there would be some kind of solidarity there from the two groups, and there was for a good long while here.

What the fuck is going on?

That would be this for lots of people

Celebrate the importance of Mother Languages to promote unity in diversity and international understanding through multilingualism and multiculturalism.

THREADS IS A NEW PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL EXHIBITION OF MULTILINGUAL WRITING AND MATERIAL FROM UNESCO CITIES OF LITERATURE.

IMLD 2024: THREADS EXHIBITION DATE: 12 February - 23 March 2024 TIME: 9:00 am to 8:00 pm AGES: All ages welcome PRICE: Free VENUE: Manchester Central Library, St Peter's Square, Manchester, M2 5PD THEME: Exhibition;Languages ORGANISER: Manchester City of Literature.

Local Manchester writers Keisha Thompson and Hafsah Aneela Bashir have contributed new original work to the exhibition, which you can view in the Histories Hub in City Library at Manchester Central Library.

Manchester and the surrounding towns were long recognised as ‘Cottonopolis’ due to its huge contribution to the cotton industry through manufacture, warehouses and transportation. In this way, textiles and threads are deeply woven through our city’s history.

Cotton-spinning is part of Manchester’s heritage as the world’s first industrial city and as a result is inextricably linked through history to slavery, social reform and protest. Manchester City of Literature are exploring these threads and more through literature, as well as opening the discussion around the world, inviting UNESCO Cities of Literature to look at their own links to textiles and follow these threads as they are interwoven into cultural identities.

The exhibition features creative materials, textiles and writing from Odessa in Ukraine including camouflage nets of the Ukrainian defender created using a technique called “Kikimora”.  Kikimora is also a character in Slavic fairy tales and can be good or evil depending on whom she is dealing with. To these nets creators tie in symbolic lines of poetry, woven hearts and ribbons.

Materials also featured in the exhibition include embroidered artwork from Sísí Ingólfsdóttir, a feminist artist in Reykjavik in Iceland, traditional dress from Granada in Spain, handkerchiefs with Frisian poetry woven through them which were used to wave to ships at a major event in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. Writing and original artwork from Wroclaw in Poland, Tartu in Estonia and Melbourne in Australia will feature. Plus Exeter, Norwich and Nottingham in the UK, as well as Manchester have contributed to the exhibition.

The Threads exhibition takes place 12th February-23rd March to coincide with International Mother Language Day, an internationally recognised UNESCO designated day to celebrate the importance of Mother Languages to promote unity in diversity and international understanding through multilingualism and multiculturalism. Manchester City of Literature leads the, now 53, UNESCO Cities of Literature for International Mother Language Day in February each year, to mark the fact that around 200 languages are spoken in Manchester at any one time.

This exhibition is in partnership with Manchester’s DNA at the University of Manchester. With thanks to Manchester Histories for hosting the exhibition in their space.

Podziemia Sandomierza (część 1 z 2)

Średniowieczny Sandomierz leżał na przecięciu ważnych szlaków handlowych, a lokalni kupcy zmonopolizowali pośrednictwo w handlu. Potrzebując coraz więcej miejsca na składowanie najróżniejszych towarów, drążyli podziemne piwnice w miękkim lessowym podłożu pod kamienicami i miejskimi placami. Te najgłębsze sięgały nawet 15 metrów! W ten sposób, na przestrzeni XIV i XV wieku, powstał pod miastem cały labirynt składów i tuneli.

Według jednej z legend tunele przyczyniły się też do obrony miasta przed najazdem Tatarów. Otóż Halina, córka kasztelana sandomierskiego Piotra Krępy, straciła wszystkich swoich bliskich, w tym ojca będącego dowódcą garnizonu. Podczas następnego najazdu, straciwszy ponadto męża, postanowiła w porozumieniu z wójtem Wiktorem zemścić się na najeźdźcach. W tym celu dostała się do obozu wroga. Tam opowiedziała wodzowi, że została pohańbiona przez mieszkańców. Zaproponowała, że wprowadzi Tatarów tajnymi podziemnymi korytarzami do miasta. Halina długo prowadzała ich w kółko ciemnymi lochami, gdy w tym czasie wtajemniczeni w podstęp mieszkańcy Sandomierza zasypali wejście do korytarzy ciężkimi głazami. Zginęli wszyscy Tatarzy, a wraz z nimi także bohaterska dziewczyna.

Underground of Sandomierz, Poland (part 1 of 2)

Medieval Sandomierz was located at the intersection of important trade routes, and local merchants monopolized trade intermediation. Needing more and more space to store various goods, they dug underground cellars in the soft loess ground under tenement houses and city squares. The deepest ones reached up to 15 meters! In this way, over the course of the 14th and 15th centuries, a whole labyrinth of warehouses and tunnels was created under the city.

According to one of the legends, the tunnels also contributed to the defense of the city against the invasion of the Tatars. Halina, the daughter of the castellan of Sandomierz, Piotr Krępa, lost all her relatives, including her father who was the commander of the garrison. During the next invasion, having also lost her husband, she decided, in consultation with the mayor Wiktor, to take revenge on the invaders. For this, she got into the enemy camp. There she told the chief that she had been disgraced by the inhabitants. She offered to lead the Tatars through secret underground corridors into the city. Halina led them around the dark dungeons for a long time, when the inhabitants of Sandomierz, initiated into the deception, covered the entrance to the corridors with heavy boulders. All the Tatars died, and with them also the heroic girl.

Budanov’s “Resurrection” and Tractors Instead of Tanks: TOP 10 Recent Failures of Russian Propaganda. Part 1

The level of trust of Ukrainians in Russian media, according to sociological studies, is at the level of statistical error. However, Russian disinformation and propaganda are finding ways to penetrate the Ukrainian information space. It is thanks to the Russians posing as someone else that Ukrainians learn about the “death” or the “wounding” of the most famous Ukrainian generals, the “Israeli passport” of the first lady, or the “radioactive cloud” due to the “explosion of depleted uranium shells.” Fact-checkers and government agencies promptly refute the most dangerous hostile fakes and manipulations. But because of its mass nature, even the most ridiculous and absurd ones still get their audience.

The Centre for Strategic Communication and Information Security recalls the 10 most brazen fakes of Russian propaganda that turned out to be a failure. 

Death of Ukrainian military leaders

For more than a month, the Russian disinformation campaign concerning the highest military leadership of Ukraine has been underway. Fake stories about the injury, death, or just a mysterious “disappearance” of the commander-in-chief of the AFU Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov, and other generals are regularly spread on the Internet. Even the federal media and Putin personally joined the spread of fakes and rumours.

Fakes of Russian propaganda are regularly denied by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The generals themselves have repeatedly done this in quite an elegant way. The “non-statutory” chevron with Baby Yoda and Budanov’s new hairstyle turned into real memes of Ukrainian social networks.

Fake: Zaluzhnyi, Budanov, and other Ukrainian generals are periodically killed and injured.

Fact: Zaluzhnyi and Budanov exercise military leadership and regularly appear in the information space.

Radioactive cloud is approaching Western Europe

Kremlin propaganda insists that the depleted uranium munitions provided to Ukraine by the UK are supposedly nuclear weapons.

After the missile attack on Khmelnytskyi on May 13, the Russians claimed that they managed to hit the warehouse with this type of ammunition. Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Patrushev said that a “radioactive cloud” was moving towards the West, a significant “increase in the radiation level” had already been recorded in Poland, and in the near future, the cloud would “affect France, Germany, Switzerland.”

The reports about the “new Chornobyl” were spread not only by the Russians, but also by the media of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Tasnim), India, and some European countries.

The Russian fake was quickly refuted by the Polish State Atomic Energy Agency (Państwowa Agencja Atomistyki | PAA) and European fact-checkers.

Institutions monitoring the level of radiation in Ukraine, Poland, the EU (PAA, EU Joint Research Centre) did not record significant changes in the background.

Fake: Due to explosion at ammunition depot in Khmelnytskyi, Western Europe is threatened with radiation contamination.

Fact: No specialized monitoring institution in Ukraine and the EU has recorded an increase in the level of radiation.

Senator Graham rejoices at the death of Russians

At the end of May, one of the leading stories of Russian propaganda was the meeting of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham with Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. The video was cut in such a way that the two phrases of the senator, said in different contexts, were put one after the other: “Yes, the Russians are dying” and “Best money we’ve spent,” giving the impression that they are part of a single logical construction.

The hosts and guests of Russian shows, Putin’s spokesman Peskov, and Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova were “outraged” by Graham’s words. Head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Bastrykin instructed his subordinates to initiate a criminal case against Graham, and Secretary of the Security Council Medvedev “reminded” the senator about the fate of Robert Kennedy and other American politicians who were killed.

The Presidential Office of Ukraine promptly provided journalists with a full version of the video, which showed that Graham’s statements about the death of Russians and the spending of American money did not follow each other. The phrase of the senator “Best money we’ve spent” was a response to the words of gratitude to Zelenskyy for the assistance to Ukraine from the United States.

Rheinmetall shares fall amid reports of Leopard tanks destroyed during Ukrainian offensive

On June 12, a number of Russian media and Telegram channels reported a sharp drop in the share price of the German concern Rheinmetall. The concern produces Leopard 2 tanks, which Western partners supply to Ukraine.

The author of the publications spread the same photo of the destroyed tank and predicted that Western arms manufacturers would “think hard” whether to provide their products to Ukraine. To confirm their own words, they even published a part of the exchange chart, where a decrease in the share price was recorded in mid-May – early June 2023. 

In fact, the fluctuation of the course in the specified period did happen. But since March 2022, there has been a steady trend in the growth of the Rheinmetall share price. The exchange rate difference between the share price on March 1, 2022, and June 21, 2023, was +62.8%.

The concern is increasing production, and the demand for its products against the backdrop of the Russian-Ukrainian war is only growing.

Fake: The share price of the German concern Rheinmetall plunged due to destruction of Leopard tanks during the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Fact: The Russians presented a short-term fluctuation in the exchange rate as the “plunge.”  For more than a year, there has been a steady trend in the growth rate of Rheinmetall shares. From March 1, 2022 to June 21, 23, they rose in price by 62.8%.

Anti-Semitic attacks against Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Russian propaganda branded Ukraine as a “Nazi” state. At the same time, the Kremlin does not hesitate to make openly anti-Semitic statements and speculate on the ethnic origin of Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with an Italian media: “So what if Zelenskyy is a Jew. I may be wrong, but even Hitler had Jewish blood.” And he added that “the fiercest anti-Semites are usually Jews.”

Putin, speaking at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on June 16, called Zelenskyy “a disgrace to the Jewish people.”

The reaction to the statements of the Russian leaders was immediate. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, head of the Yad Vashem Institute pointed out to Lavrov the inadmissibility of statements based on a long-exposed conspiracy theory. The Jewish Confederation of Ukraine responded harshly to Putin’s accusations against Zelenskyy. As an illustration to the statement, a photo of the Menorah destroyed by Russian artillery on the territory of the Drobytskyi Yar memorial near Kharkiv was chosen; it was the place of mass executions of Jews during the Nazi occupation.

Fake: Ukraine is a Nazi state that Russia is trying to denazify.

Fact: Russian leaders make anti-Semitic statements and try to attack Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his ethnic background. Russian artillery struck the graves of Holocaust victims.

The Crucifixion painting, by Polish artist Jan Styka, was originally brought by Styka to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904. Because of its massive 195 foot long/45 foot high size, he was unable to display it and was forced to return to Poland without it because he could not pay the duty to take it home. Styka, whose self-portrait is seen in the painting as the figure of Saul (Paul), died in 1925 without ever seeing his painting again.

The Crucifixion was stored in several warehouses over the years until Forest Lawn Founder Dr. Hubert Eaton and his colleagues located it at the Chicago Civic Opera company in 1943. Forest Lawn purchased it after World War II and built the Hall of the Crucifixion for the express purpose of displaying Styka’s work. It opened on Good Friday in 1951.

One of the most bizarre encounters I've had with a painting, I can't stop thinking about The Crucifixation at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale. The front of this building feels like a scaled down replica of eighteenth century french church architecture, but instead of a refectory (?) there is this crazy room. It's effect is somewhere between a movie theatre, a judicial hall, and a church. Usually there is an audiovisual presentation accompanying the painting, but it was not functioning during my visit. I went with my parents, and there was no one else there.

The entire cemetery is a bizarre monument to the American commitment to borrowing European conventions of grandeur, it is amazingly garish, but also surprisingly beautiful in its sincerity and thorough execution of the bit. I'm still working through my thoughts about how this space functions.

Long uplifting post, will make you feel better

By Stephen Givot, from Poland:

Today was my first day actually contributing to the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Europe. It has been impossible to sign up for work at World Central Kitchen. When I emailed, they said just show up, there’s plenty to do. This morning I showed up. The nearest lodging I could book is about 90 minutes south of Przemsyl (Poland) in Sanok (Poland). It’s only about 45 miles, but the drive is across the Carpathian Mountains (2 passes) and through a countryside where most of the farmhouses have chimneys bellowing smoke from burning firewood. The road is about 20-30 miles from the Ukraine border. When I arrived there were about 50 people working in about 25,000 sq ft (half the CBOE trading floor) that was a dirty warehouse three weeks ago. In a week, World Central Kitchen (WCK) paint everything from the floor up. There had been no plumbing other than a toilet. Now there is state of the art mass quantity cooking equipment, stainless steel sinks, 6 for diameter “paella pans” that hold about 950 GALLONS of food (up to the brim) on enormous propane burners. I think there are ten of these. There is a walk in refrigeration room that is about 2000 sq ft that a Polish company put together in 24 hours with a garage door to enter and leave with enormous quantities of food on fork lifts. Today, my little group from Ohio, Idaho, Portugal, Canada, and the UK peeled an enormous quantity of potatos and cored/sliced an ungodly amount of apples (for baby food). I won’t go into details, but we were told that we fed 7000 people in Przemsyl and at the border, and we prepped food to be cooked in Lviv, Ukraine for another 30,000 people. Not a typo: 30,000. The volunteers are from everywhere in Europe, the US/Canada, and one from Japan. They show up, and they work. Some for a few days, some for longer. After the 90 commute and 10 hours working, I’m tired but also wired. Sometime in the next few days, I’ll join trips to three places. One trip will be to the train station in Przemsyl. I’m told there are 70 Polish volunteers greeting people as they leave the train and helping them sort out their next destination. Some know people in Europe and have a place to go. Far too many do not. They are being spread throughout Poland and beyond. I have been told that most homes and apartments in Warsaw and Krakow have a host family and one or two refugee families. The generosity of the Polish people is beyond comprehension. A second trip will be to a local shopping mall that has just been built but is not yet occupied. There are many thousands of women and children sleeping on the floors as well as an enormous space used to store donations of clothing, baby goods, things to occupy kids, etc. The third trip will be to the border. I will be serving people the first meal many have had in days. With the bombing near Lviv (not far across the border), many people who had traveled as far as Lviv are not coming to Poland — many on foot. They (many with children of all ages) are tired, hungry, and cold. The temperature at night is around freezing. The past two days have been warm (50s) and sunny. Still, when they reach the border, hot food is an immediate need. I will update this daily. The last thing I’ll post is one ton of beef and 1000 pounds of apples for baby food — part of what was cooked today.”

Thank you, Stephen, and every volunteer who works to help, in any capacity. Faith in humanity restored. 💖

A well-travelled MAS 38 prototype

Recently I got the chance to examine and photograph this French submachine gun, which has a very interesting provenance.

Although it appears at first glance to be a standard MAS 38 submachine gun, the standard French service SMG of the 1940s and 50s, it’s actually marked Type SE-MAS 1935 F 1537. This denotes that it was an earlier trials model of the MAS 38 that was produced before its official adoption in 1938. It was selected for service in favour of the Thompson, MP 28,II, and Type ETVS submachine guns, but was not issued in any significant quantities before the German invasion of France in 1940, and during World War II it was predominantly only issued to internal Vichy forces.

This example of the SE-MAS 35, however, appears to have travelled across several different countries in just the first year of the war. The wooden buttstock is marked with several different locations that its owner seems to have passed through, taking this gun with him. The first is “Dęblin”, which is a town in Poland that, in 1939, housed both an an ammunition depot, and an air force training school. Additionally, the Main Arms Warehouse No.2 was located just 8km outside of Dęblin, which provides a probable location of origin for this gun. This gun was probably sent to Poland for trials in the late 1930s, and was issued on an emergency basis to a Polish airman or soldier who was stationed in Dęblin in 1939.

The second location is marked “București”, which is Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Poland shared a border with Romania in 1939, and when Poland fell to the Germans, some 120,000 Polish troops fled to Romania, which sufficiently explains the second step of this story.

Next is “Paris”. Our hero would have ended up there during the attempts to reorganize the remnants of the Polish Army in allied France. Following Paris is “Lyon”, and then “Andrézieux” (which I assume is Andrézieux-Bouthéon?), and then “Port-Vendres”, a port in southwest France from which this soldier probably sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar to Portugal after the Fall of France in June 1940. Neutral Portugal acted as a point from which Free French and Polish refugees fled to Britain, and this is made evident by the next marking: “St. Vincent”, referring to Cape St. Vincent on the southern Portuguese coast.

Our hero then ends up in Britain, where he stays first in “Liverpool”, then “Kirkham”, and then finally in “Bramcote”. Bramcote was home to a Royal Air Force base during the war, which was probably where this soldier was stationed after joining the Polish Forces-in-Exile. After this, he simply marks the end of the stock with a “?”, indicating that he has no inclination as to where the war will take him next, but that it it is bound to take him somewhere new. Unfortunately, no other locations are given, although I don’t know whether this is because he was stationed in Bramcote for the rest of the war, or whether it’s just because he ran out of space on the stock.

It’s worth noting, however, that this gun only ended up in a museum after being voluntarily surrendered to the police during the 1988 Firearms Amnesty, which means it remained in private hands even after the war had ended. Did the same man keep hold of it for almost six decades?

I’m sure this unidentified soldier had many stories to tell!

Autobus Park №7: Kyiv’s Abandoned Transport Circus

Kyiv might be Europe’s single greatest city for late-twentieth century Modernist architecture. It boasts many wild, eclectic, and vividly imaginative examples of the style, built during the height of Soviet monument-mania. Though amongst its steel and concrete marvels of Soviet-era architecture, one of Kyiv’s most striking modern buildings has, in recent years, also become one of the city’s most problematic ruins. Autobus Park №7  – once the pride of the Ukrainian transport industry – exists today as a decaying morgue for almost a thousand abandoned buses.

The design challenge of the Autobus Park №7 was to create an efficient depot capable of housing and maintaining a fleet of some 500 buses, in an urban environment where building space was limited. Had the building been constructed like a warehouse, or a factory, using a square plan and a regular pillar-based solution for supporting the roof, it was estimated that the total size of the building would have needed to be at least 4,000 square metres. However, an ingenious solution was proposed instead.

The chief engineers on the project, V. A. Kozlov and S. I. Smorgon, were responsible for the idea of using a cable-suspended roof. They took their inspiration from circus buildings – the cylindrical concrete-and-steel constructions which were by this time a ubiquitous feature in cities throughout the Soviet Union. By designing the building on a circular plan, and suspending concrete roof panels on cables strung between a central support pillar and the outer walls, it was found that both space and construction costs could be significantly reduced. Moreover, this design, with its organic, circular shape, lent itself more to what was then considered a modern and humanistic work environment for employees – while its form, reminiscent of circuses and Palaces of Culture, presented the bus depot not as a bland, functional box, but rather a community venue.

Kozlov and Smorgon built a 1:10 scale model to test their idea. The central support pillar would be 18 metres high, a tower of reinforced concrete with a diameter of 8 metres, consisting of 0.3-metre thick concrete walls around an inner support of solid steel with a cross-section of 0.32 x 0.22 metres. Attached to the top of this pillar, were 84 radial cables – steel ropes with a diameter of 65 millimetres. Each of these cables was able to support a weight of up to 350 tons, and the roof would be constructed on top of them: a suspended tent dome, created from concrete plates, and with a total diameter of 160 metres.

On its completion in 1973, the building was considered an engineering marvel – its hanging roof was one of the largest ever constructed, and this system of support reduced the building’s necessary size from 40,000 square metres (the estimate for a pillar-supported roof) to a footprint of just 23,000 square metres.

As much as possible, the design aimed to take advantage of natural light. The concrete plates of the roof were fitted with portholes, most of which were concentrated close around the main support tower. In the outer wall, upright glass cylinders were installed between concrete panels, serving as sturdy support pillars that both insulated the building against the cold outside, and allowed refracted light to shine into the wings of the building. This solution proved particularly robust, and most of these glass pillars have survived intact since the early 1970s until this day. Between them, these design choices resulted in an interior space and working area that enjoyed bright sunlight during the day, thus minimising the additional cost of electrical lighting.

Once operational, Autobus Park №7 was the largest vehicle depot in the Soviet Union – and it was rumoured, potentially the largest anywhere in the world. It served as more than just a garage, though. It was the base of operations for the entire fleet of buses serving the capital, including city buses, intercity buses, and also those working international routes, to Germany, Poland, Belarus and Russia. The building was fully air-conditioned, it featured a four-gate vehicle wash, and a mechanised repair bay fitted with conveyor belt systems. The building had a staff of 1,500 workers, and featured workers’ canteens, as well as a computing centre too – where teams calculated staff salaries and work shifts, as well as designing and optimising bus routes.

Sadly, the glory days of Autobus Park №7 would be short-lived. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union, many of the fleet’s international routes were discontinued. Services were gradually reduced through the 1990s, into the 2000s, while meanwhile, the building was increasingly used to store wrecked vehicles awaiting repair or decommissioning. The reduction of domestic bus routes in 2005 was a further blow, and eventually, in 2015, the autopark closed its doors for good – the building slipping into disrepair, as the once-proud circus was steadily transformed into a scrapyard.

Since it was officially closed in 2015, almost 1,000 buses have been stored inside the abandoned building. | Photo © Darmon Richter

Today, Autobus Park №7 in Kyiv seems to be locked in a downward spiral of decay. The building itself is nothing short of an engineering marvel, an extraordinary work of architecture that supporters have suggested could be adapted now into a museum, or even a film studio. In April 2018 a petition was registered on the website of Kyiv City Council, calling for the building’s preservation – but it only received 321 votes, a long way short of its target of 10,000 signatures. Even had it been successful though, good intentions don’t count for much without action and intent on the part of Kyiv City Council; where currently, any talks of potential preservation are being blocked at a bureaucratic level.

For 25 years the building has been owned by the company Kyivpastrans (‘Kyiv Passenger Transportation), whose deputy general director, Sergey Litvinov, has said that Autobus Park №7 poses an imminent risk of collapse, and, given the cost and scale of such a project, would be almost impossible to save. Meanwhile, other former transport depots around the city have already been bulldozed to make room for new residential blocks and shopping centres. Many property developers would jump at the chance of getting their hands on this 23,000-square metre plot – and from the perspective of the current owners, it is probably a more attractive financial proposition. The building is neither listed nor protected, so were it empty, there would be nothing to stop the owners from knocking it down overnight.

However, for the time being all parties are locked into a kind of stalemate over the building’s contents. The estimated 903 rusting vehicles stored inside (including LAZ, Volvo, Ikarus, and various other brands of urban and long-distance buses) pose a major administrative problem. These buses cannot easily be removed, or scrapped, as technically they are yet to be decommissioned from service. A new regulation that was introduced into Ukrainian law in 2013 complicated the bureaucratic procedure and created a backlog; so that all of the vehicles inside Autobus Park №7 today are – officially, on paper – still in service and awaiting audit. As such they cannot legally be taken apart for scrap, and right now, there’s nowhere else to store them in the city but here.

The vehicles have still not been officially decommissioned under Ukrainian law – which means they cannot be scrapped until the necessary paperwork is processed. | Photo © Darmon Richter

So for now, it’s a waiting game. If Kyivpastrans and Kyiv City Council are able to solve the bureaucratic headache of their vehicle decommissioning procedure, remove the abandoned buses, and then find the will, not to mention the funding, to undertake the colossal project of preserving Autobus Park №7 (while turning down more lucrative offers from property developers in the process), then perhaps the building might yet be saved. But in the meanwhile, the circus roof is sagging, and young trees are already sprouting from cracks in the concrete.

It may just be that this building, an engineering marvel of the Soviet period, having failed to find its place in a post-Soviet world, is doomed to go the same way as the regime that built it.

August 4, 1944

Acting on tip from a Dutch informer, the Nazi Gestapo captures 15-year-old Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family in a sealed-off area of an Amsterdam warehouse. The Franks had taken shelter there in 1942 out of fear of deportation to a Nazi concentration camp. They occupied the small space with another Jewish family and a single Jewish man, and were aided by Christian friends, who brought them food and supplies. Anne spent much of her time in the so-called “secret annex” working on her diary. The diary survived the war, overlooked by the Gestapo that discovered the hiding place, but Anne and nearly all of the others perished in the Nazi death camps.

Annelies Marie Frank was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on June 12, 1929. She was the second daughter of Otto Frank and Edith Frank-Hollander, both of Jewish families that had lived in Germany for centuries. With the rise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in 1933, Otto moved his family to Amsterdam to escape the escalating Nazi persecution of Jews. In Holland, he ran a successful spice and jam business. Anne attended a Montessori school with other middle-class Dutch children, but with the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940 she was forced to transfer to a Jewish school. In 1942, Otto began arranging a hiding place in an annex of his warehouse on the Prinsengracht Canal in Amsterd 

On her 13th birthday in 1942, Anne began a diary relating her everyday experiences, her relationship with her family and friends, and observations about the increasingly dangerous world around her. Less than a month later, Anne’s older sister, Margot, received a call-up notice to report to a Nazi “work camp.” Fearing deportation to a Nazi concentration camp, the Frank family took shelter in the secret annex the next day. One week later, they were joined by Otto Frank’s business partner and his family. In November, a Jewish dentist—the eighth occupant of the hiding place—joined the group.

For two years, Anne kept a diary about her life in hiding that is marked with poignancy, humor, and insight. The entrance to the secret annex was hidden by a hinged bookcase, and former employees of Otto and other Dutch friends delivered them food and supplies procured at high risk. Anne and the others lived in rooms with blacked-out windows, and never flushed the toilet during the day out of fear that their presence would be detected. In June 1944, Anne’s spirits were raised by the Allied landings at Normandy, and she was hopeful that the long-awaited liberation of Holland would soon begin.

On August 1, 1944, Anne made her last entry in her diary. Three days later, 25 months of seclusion ended with the arrival of the Nazi Gestapo. Anne and the others had been given away by an unknown informer, and they were arrested along with two of the Christians who had helped shelter them. 

They were sent to a concentration camp in Holland, and in September Anne and most of the others were shipped to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. In the fall of 1944, with the Soviet liberation of Poland underway, Anne was moved with her sister Margot to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. Suffering under the deplorable conditions of the camp, the two sisters caught typhus and died in February 1945. The camp was liberated by the British less than two months later.

In 1947, Anne’s diary was published by Otto in its original Dutch. An instant best-seller and eventually translated into more than 70 languages, The Diary of Anne Frank has served as a literary testament to the nearly six million Jews, including Anne herself, who were silenced in the Holocaust.The Frank family’s hideaway at Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam opened as a museum in 1960. A new English translation of Anne’s diary in 1995 restored material that had been edited out of the original version, making the work nearly a third longer.
